...BLOOD ON THE COAL... by The Folksmen -----------------------................
*from 'A Mighty Wind Original Soundtrack' (2003)*
Intro:
Dm
Verse 1:
DmCC/B It was April 27, in the year of 91, AmDm Bout a mile below the surface and the warm Kentucky sun. DmCC/B The late shift was ending, and the early shift was late, AmDm The foreman ate his dinner, from a dirty tin plate.
Chorus 1:
DmCC/B Blood on the tracks, blood in the mine, AmDm Brothers and sisters, what a terrible time. CC/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, AmDm Now in mine number 60, there's blood on the coal, CC/BAm Blood on the coal, blood on the coal.
Verse 2:
DmCC/B Well, the slag pits were steamin', it was 7:25, AmDm Every miner worked the coal face; every one of them alive. DmCC/B The train came round the corner; you could hear the trestle groan, AmDm But the switcher wasn't listnin', so he left the switch alone!
Chorus 2:
DmCC/B Blood on the tracks, blood in the mine, AmDm Brothers and sisters, what a terrible time. CC/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, AmDm Now in mine number 60, there's blood on the coal, CC/BAm Blood on the coal, blood on the coal.
Verse 3:
DmCC/B Well, the walls began to tremble and the men began to yell, AmDm They could hear that lonesome whistle, like an echo out of...well. DmCC/B They dropped their picks and shovels, as to safety they did run, AmDm For to stay amongst the living, in the year of ninety-one.
Chorus 3:
DmCC/B Blood on the tracks, blood in the mine, AmDm Brothers and sisters, what a terrible time. CC/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, AmDm Now in mine number 60, there's blood on the coal, CC/BAm Blood on the coal, blood on the coal.
Verse 4:
DmCC/B Now, an Irishman named Murphy said; "I'll stop that iron horse!" AmDm And he stood to athwart it's passage and it crushed him dead of course. DmCC/B And I hope he hears the irony, when e're this tale is told, AmDm The train that took his life was burning good Kentucky coal. (Hey!)
Chorus 4:
DmCC/B Blood on the tracks, blood in the mine, AmDm Brothers and sisters, what a terrible time. CC/B Ole 97 went in the wrong hole, AmDm Now in mine number 60, there's blood on the coal, CAm, Dm Blood on the coal, blood on the coal.
